Decision To Paint Concrete:
Picasso's "Women Running on the Beach" shows clearly that his decision to paint concrete rather than abstract phenomena, events that can be comprehended, does not mean that he is now rejecting the way in which cubism distorts or questions principles of composition. Picasso's pictures always include both elements.There are also a few vital special items: triangular shave hooks and Flexible scrapers for removing old paint; masking tape for protecting surfaces not to be painted; paint shield of metal or plastic to restrict paint to the area being painted; tack or tacky rag to pick up dust; clean, lint-free rags; paint stirrer (there is one usable with a power drill); paint buckets. Use a bucket so the bulk of your paint stays free from contamination. It also makes carrying paint - especially up ladders - much easier, since not all paint cans have handles.
The way you apply paint is largely a matter of personal choice. You can use brushes in conjunction with a paint-roller - a tool developed for the amateur user of latex paint. The paint pad has its advantages, too.
